DESCRIZIONE DESCRIPTION
annessa alla domanda di brevetto per Invenzione Industriale dal titolo: “DISPOSITIVO DI IRRADIAZIONE LUMINOSA DELLA SUPERFICIE INTERNA DI ORGANI ” attached to the patent application for Industrial Invention entitled: "DEVICE FOR LUMINOUS IRRADIATION OF THE INTERNAL SURFACE OF ORGANS"
TESTO DELLA DESCRIZIONE TEXT OF THE DESCRIPTION
Il presente trovato si riferisce ad un dispositivo di irradiazione luminosa della superficie interna di organi. The present invention relates to a device for light irradiation of the internal surface of organs.
Certamente, uno dei settori della medicina che si è maggiormente sviluppato negli ultimi decenni è quello legato alle terapie estetiche, finalizzate sia alla correzione di difetti naturali, o presunti tali, sia al ringiovanimento, almeno apparente, del proprio aspetto complessivo. Certainly, one of the sectors of medicine that has developed the most in recent decades is that linked to aesthetic therapies, aimed both at correcting natural or presumed defects, and at the rejuvenation, at least apparent, of one's overall appearance.
Sono stati messi a punto numerosi trattamenti che prevedono interventi chirurgici, nonché molti dispositivi che sfruttano scoperte scientifiche in gran parte connesse al modo di reagire del corpo umano a sollecitazioni esterne di varia natura. Numerous treatments have been developed that include surgical interventions, as well as many devices that exploit scientific discoveries largely connected to the way the human body reacts to external stresses of various kinds.
Ad esempio, nella seconda metà del secolo scorso hanno trovato grande diffusione i cosiddetti “elettrostimolatori”, tramite i quali sollecitazioni di natura elettrica sono state sfruttate per stimolare(muscoli, tessuti, in modo da aumentarne l’attività fino ad ottenere positivi e visibili effetti estetici. For example, in the second half of the last century the so-called "electrostimulators" found great diffusion, through which electrical stresses were used to stimulate (muscles, tissues, in order to increase their activity until obtaining positive and visible effects aesthetic.
È abbastanza recente la scoperta dell’efficacia della cosiddetta “fototerapia” che si concretizza in un effetto, denominato fotobiomodulazione, consistente in un “aumento di funzione cellulare” dovuto all’irradiazione della pelle con fasci di luce monocromatica. In particolare, le cellule deputate a produrre collagene, denominate fibroblasti, sono stimolate da irradiazioni di luce monocromatica, cioè di una particolare lunghezza d’onda. Ad esempio, fasci di luce nella banda del rosso, collocabile intorno a 630 nm, hanno evidenziato la massima stimolazione dei fibroblasti; fasci di luce nella banda dell’infrarosso, collocabile tra 800 e 900 nm, hanno evidenziato un effetto di penetrazione maggiore, efficace anche su cellule più distanti dalla superficie cutanea. The discovery of the effectiveness of the so-called "phototherapy" is quite recent, which takes the form of an effect, called photobiomodulation, consisting of an "increase in cellular function" due to the irradiation of the skin with monochromatic light beams. In particular, the cells responsible for producing collagen, called fibroblasts, are stimulated by irradiation of monochromatic light, that is, of a particular wavelength. For example, beams of light in the red band, which can be placed around 630 nm, showed the maximum stimulation of the fibroblasts; beams of light in the infrared band, which can be placed between 800 and 900 nm, have shown a greater penetration effect, also effective on cells further away from the skin surface.
È evidente quindi che l’irradiazione di porzioni estese di superficie cutanea con questo tipo di luce, provocando un aumento della sintesi di procollagene da parte dei fibroblasti, determina un aumento della produzione di collagene ed un conseguente ringiovanimento della pelle irradiata. It is therefore evident that the irradiation of large portions of the skin surface with this type of light, causing an increase in the synthesis of procollagen by the fibroblasts, causes an increase in the production of collagen and a consequent rejuvenation of the irradiated skin.
Tuttavia, i dispositivi ad oggi realizzati idonei a sfruttare questo principio sono tutti destinati ad agire solo su porzioni esterne della superficie del corpo umano e non sono adattabili ad irradiare in modo uniforme anche superfici estese che si trovano all’interno del corpo umano. However, the devices made to date suitable for exploiting this principle are all intended to act only on external portions of the surface of the human body and are not adaptable to uniformly irradiate even large surfaces that are inside the human body.
In particolare, non esistono dispositivi idonei ad irradiare con luce monocromatica la zona vulvo-vaginale del corpo femminile, in modo da conseguire un ringiovanimento dei tessuti dermici che vi si trovano. In particular, there are no devices suitable for irradiating the vulvo-vaginal area of the female body with monochromatic light, so as to achieve a rejuvenation of the dermal tissues found there.
Lo scopo del presente trovato è pertanto quello di eliminare gli inconvenienti sopra menzionati. Esso viene raggiunto grazie ad un dispositivo provvisto di un’appendice sagomata in modo da adattarsi all’organo in cui va inserita, idonea a supportare sorgenti luminose di luce monocromatica. The object of the present invention is therefore to eliminate the aforementioned drawbacks. It is achieved thanks to a device equipped with a shaped appendix in order to adapt to the organ in which it is inserted, suitable to support light sources of monochromatic light.
Il principale vantaggio ottenuto mediante il presente trovato consiste nel fatto che il dispositivo consente di irradiare una superficie estesa anche all’interno del corpo in modo uniforme, in particolare l’intera zona vulvo-vaginale. The main advantage obtained by the present invention consists in the fact that the device allows to irradiate an extended surface even inside the body in a uniform way, in particular the entire vulvo-vaginal area.
Inoltre, possono essere associate all’appendice sorgenti luminose che emettono luce monocromatica di diverse lunghezze d’onda in modo da combinare gli effetti peculiari delle diverse radiazioni. In addition, light sources that emit monochromatic light of different wavelengths can be associated with the appendix in order to combine the peculiar effects of the different radiations.
Ulteriori vantaggi e caratteristiche del trovato saranno maggiormente evidenti nella descrizione dettagliata che segue, fatta con riferimento ai disegni allegati, che ne rappresentano un esempio non limitativo di esecuzione, in cui: Further advantages and characteristics of the invention will be more evident in the detailed description that follows, made with reference to the attached drawings, which represent a non-limiting example of execution, in which:
- la figura 1 illustra il trovato secondo una vista prospettica laterale; Figure 1 illustrates the invention according to a side perspective view;
la figura 2 illustra il trovato scomposto nei suoi componenti essenziali. Figure 2 illustrates the invention broken down into its essential components.
Come si può osservare dalle figure, il presente trovato concerne un dispositivo di irradia As can be seen from the figures, the present invention relates to an irradiating device
comprendente almeno un’appendice (1) di forma complementare all’organo in cui va inserita, supportante almeno una sorgente luminosa (1a), idonea ad irradiare in modo uniforme una superficie estesa all’interno dell’organo. Infatti, un’irradiazione puntuale, anche distribuita su più punti, non sarebbe efficace per gli scopi sopra menzionati. comprising at least one appendix (1) of complementary shape to the organ in which it is inserted, supporting at least one light source (1a), suitable for uniformly irradiating an extended surface inside the organ. In fact, a punctual irradiation, even distributed over several points, would not be effective for the purposes mentioned above.
Il dispositivo (10) di irradiazione luminosa comprende inoltre una base (2), atta a supportare l’appendice (1) e provvista anch’essa di almeno una sorgente luminosa (2a), in modo da irradiare contemporaneamente anche la zona esterna circostante l’organo del quale viene irradiata la superficie interna. The light irradiation device (10) also comprises a base (2), adapted to support the appendix (1) and also provided with at least one light source (2a), so as to simultaneously irradiate the external area surrounding the organ of which the inner surface is irradiated.
Per ottenere un effetto mirato, è opportuno sfruttare individualmente le peculiarità delle radiazioni di diverse lunghezze d’onda. A questo scopo, le sorgenti luminose (1a, 2a) comprendono emettitori monocromatici (11 a, 21 a), atti ad emettere radiazioni in almeno una banda prestabilita. To obtain a targeted effect, it is appropriate to individually exploit the peculiarities of radiation of different wavelengths. For this purpose, the light sources (1a, 2a) comprise monochromatic emitters (11 a, 21 a), capable of emitting radiations in at least a predetermined band.
Tuttavia, è possibile realizzare il dispositivo (10) di irradiazione luminosa con sorgenti luminose (1a, 2a) che comprendono emettitori monocromatici (11 a, 11 b, 11 c, 21 a, 21 b, 21 c, ...), atti ad emettere radiazioni in una pluralità di bande prestabilite. In una preferita soluzione costruttiva, gli emettitori monocromatici (11 a, 21 a) sono costituiti da led. However, it is possible to realize the light irradiation device (10) with light sources (1a, 2a) which include monochromatic emitters (11 a, 11 b, 11 c, 21 a, 21 b, 21 c, ...), suitable for to emit radiation in a plurality of predetermined bands. In a preferred constructive solution, the monochromatic emitters (11 a, 21 a) consist of LEDs.
In generale, gli emettitori monocromatici (11 a, 11 b, 11 c, 21 a, 21 b, 21 c, ...) utilizzati emettono radiazioni in una pluralità di bande, tutte comprese tra 400 e 1200 nm. In general, the monochromatic emitters (11 a, 11 b, 11 c, 21 a, 21 b, 21 c, ...) used emit radiation in a plurality of bands, all between 400 and 1200 nm.
In una preferita soluzione, destinata al trattamento della zona vulvovaginale, e rappresentata nelle figure a titolo di esempio di realizzazione del trovato, il dispositivo (10) di irradiazione luminosa comprende sorgenti luminose (1a, 2a) costituite da led che emettono luce monocromatica in almeno una banda, in modo atto a stimolare i fibroblasti che si trovano nella zona vulvo-vaginale. In questo caso, è consigliabile privilegiare la banda del rosso, caratterizzata da radiazioni di lunghezza d’onda intorno a 630 nm, particolarmente efficace per la stimolazione delle cellule che si trovano negli strati più vicini alla superficie cutanea. Tuttavia, per ampliare gli effetti del trattamento, si può prevedere che le sorgenti luminose (1 a, 2a) comprendano led che emettono luce monocromatica in una pluralità di bande, ad esempio anche nella banda dell’infrarosso, collocata a lunghezze d’onda superiori a circa 790 nm, in modo da stimolare più efficacemente anche i fibroblasti della zona vulvo-vaginale che si trovano più distanti dalla superficie cutanea. In a preferred solution, intended for the treatment of the vulvovaginal area, and represented in the figures by way of example of embodiment of the invention, the light irradiation device (10) comprises light sources (1a, 2a) consisting of LEDs that emit monochromatic light in at least a band, in order to stimulate the fibroblasts found in the vulvo-vaginal area. In this case, it is advisable to privilege the red band, characterized by radiation with a wavelength of around 630 nm, particularly effective for stimulating the cells found in the layers closest to the skin surface. However, to broaden the effects of the treatment, it can be envisaged that the light sources (1 a, 2a) include LEDs that emit monochromatic light in a plurality of bands, for example also in the infrared band, located at higher wavelengths. at about 790 nm, in order to stimulate more effectively also the fibroblasts of the vulvo-vaginal area that are further away from the skin surface.
Il trovato così concepito è suscettibile di numerose modifiche e varianti, tutte rientranti nell’ambito del concetto inventivo. Inoltre, tutti i dettagli possono essere sostituiti da elementi tecnicamente equivalenti. The invention thus conceived is susceptible of numerous modifications and variations, all of which are within the scope of the inventive concept. Furthermore, all the details can be replaced by technically equivalent elements.
Nella pratica sono ovviamente possibili delle modifiche e/o delle migliorie rientranti comunque nell’ambito delle seguenti rivendicazioni. In practice, modifications and / or improvements are obviously possible, however, falling within the scope of the following claims.
